One ball per player.
Players hold the ball at shoulder height and then gently throw it just above their foreheads two mini headers in a row.
Players then catch the ball above their heads and repeat.
Players must keep their eyes open and mouth closed.
Players can experiment with putting greater power and height on the header but must keep the ball under control and catch it again each time to repeat.
See how many players can do three or more headers.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
